Judging by news exposure you'd think the minorities were the majority.
Why does a sub section of society generate so much noise? |

Number of people murdered in Britain as a result of recent "fundamentalist Moslem" attacks ? (help me out here guys) ?
Number of people (Muslims ?) killed by "British terrorists attacks" ...one ! This stupidity has to stop ...before it gets out of hand. Violence ...begets violence ! Mind you ...just wish I could get on the Jury when tehe Brit goes to Court ..  |

I think its a bit unfair to think that England, or even Britain should not produce any murderers.
When you look around the world at other countries. |

We can't even do terrorism right. Guy plants a bomb on the tube; it doesn't go off. Another guy drives into a crowd and it looks like the only fatality had happened before. What kind of terrorist drives into a corpse ffs? We're an embarrassment.

I thought you were a serious poster at one point and tried to discuss issues with you. Now I can see you are just someone who likes to joke around and makes a mockery out of terrorist incidents and have done zero research on anything you post. |

Today's Times headline manages to get in jobless, lone wolf and mental health problems.
Which are of course exactly what they'd put if it was a muslim driving into a crowd of white people. |

PP,
Who cares what the main stream media say? They all have agendas. |
|
By:
PP think we all know the difference but in the intrest of fairness there was a convert in Plymouth if my memory serves me right who tried to blow up a coffee shop, he was said to have mental issues. Mind you to want to blow yourself up for a non existent being, you have to be a few sandwiches short of a picnic in the first place

And still the MSM are pedalling the lie that someone was killed. The poor old guy died of a heart attack - he wasn't hit by the van. But better not let facts get in the way of a great narrative
But even if someone had been killed, the comparisons with Islamic atrocities are absolutely bonkers. There is no comparison.There have been over 20,000 Islamic terror attacks since 9/11. How many right wing atrocities ? (answers on a very small postcard, please) Islamic terrorists have killed over 1260 people in the last 3 weeks alone. How many have right wing nutters killed ?? To equate the threat of 'right wing terror' with this mass evil is dishonest beyond belief. |

Islam has had more practice at terrorism. It's a 'little man' game for the underdog......perhaps if and when the minority becomes the majority the shoe will be on the other foot. Until then consider all these knife carrying Muslims around parliament that are getting picked up every few days, that's not very clever is it? You get two years jail no questions for that, and what are they carrying them for, to peel an apple? |

"The poor old guy died of a heart attack - he wasn't hit by the van"
I read in the paper today he was a 52-year-old man who had a pacemaker fitted 2 yrs ago and used walking sticks. He collapsed in the road before the attack, his daughter rushed to the scene and was with him when he died, she said the van ran over his leg as it ploughed into the crowd. |

By:
Dusty - you seem to be confusing me with someone who thinks terrorism is ok.
Hate to break it to you, but I don't. Thing is, I don't just see terrorism as confined to one skin colour though obviously there are lots of posters on this here thread that would like to believe that. |
|
By:
Well if the issue is about defining terrorism from state level then I'd concede that 'we' have considerable skeletons in the wardrobe.....but since the individuals don't have any control over that we have to compare the actions of individuals themselves, like for like.
And there isn't any comparison. |

By:
What is more worrying is people on here don't actually know about the three particular areas involving the attempts and promotion of sharia law.
There is even a group that is going around the UK campaigning for it. MAY defends it and wants to incorporate it. The legal society got caught out trying to bring it into law and had to apologise for trying. There are at least 85 sharia courts in the country. These are all facts yet there are posters on here that have chosen to ignore it or pretend to be not aware of the growth and pressure to establish sharia further. But saying it makes me a liar and a BSh.ter. Good luck with that one. |

By:
I think the only difference is in success, or capability if you will. In the last 12 months we've had (from what we know) at least 3 incidents involving "white brits". The first one of course was a successful assassination but luckily it was only the sheer ineptitude of the tube bomber and Mr Osborne that saw no further fatalities.
But make no mistake, the intent was there. They wanted to kill and to maim; they were just a bit rubbish at it. |
|
By:
Moysey - you use the present tense when you say May wants to bring it in. Have you got any links to any policies or speeches say from the last 12 months that indicate this, or is it all based on something from a few years ago, in which case the past tense is more appropriate.

More distraction? Please point me to posts claiming Islam is limited to one skin colour. You seem rather keen to make this racial, as opposed to ideological. |

Where did I say Islam is limited to one skin colour? Jesus.

Porky one of the prominent defenders of the faith. Is completely ignorant of the growth of sharia- yet comes on here to have a pop. I don't know why people get involved in debates about the issue when they have no knowledge of it. I don't know why people don't read up on it and find out facts before opening their mouths about it. Do your research before sniping or trying to disprove what has been proven.

Ahh, defender of the faith
Moysey, I'm genuinely not having a pop. If there's a queue to stick the boot into May then I'm usually near the front. Genuinely curious as you always seem to be the only one who brings up this issue but get tetchy when anyone asks you to provide a link. All I'm saying is, is it currently on the wishlist from May? Was it in the last Tory manifesto? Was it mentioned in any of her recent speeches (if you can track them down!)? Or are they from comments made several years ago. You seem to know more than anyone on it and I'm keen to understand more. |
